Estonia is traversed by an important European bio-geographical borderline which divides the area into two large provinces. The northern and western parts of the country with their characteristic calciphilous plant communities of alvars, fens, wooded meadows and broad-leaved forests belong to the Mid…-European province while the East, where acid soils promote the development of acidophilous plants and pine as the main forest-forming tree, belongs to the East-European province. There are as many as 251 species of higher plants for which Estonia is the distribution limit, be it northern, southern, western or eastern..
The number of vascular plants growing in Estonia totals ca 1 400 (together with microspecies of some genera ca 1 600). Due to the milder climate of western Estonia, 3/4 of the total number of species are found in the coastal lowlands and islands. This also includes the only local endemic species - Saaremaa yellow rattle - which grows in the western part of the island of Saaremaa..
In spite of large tracks of intact nature, Estonian flora as a whole is under strong human attack. For instance, the vegetation of grasslands, varying from floodplain meadows on the riverbanks to the dry alvars, has been formed under a long-lasting and steady impact of haymaking and pasturing..
About one fourth of Estonian plant species are habitants of marshes. Owing to their stability as habitats, the bogs also contain many relict species that once colonised the tundra-like landscape which emerged from under the withdrawing ice. Of the forest-tundra plants, inhabiting Estonian bogs, the shrub-like dwarf birch and the cloudberry are most common..
Fungi are found in all natural and ruderal habitats of Estonia, being particularly widespread in forests, meadows and bogs. The best mushroom forests, where there can be found as many as 400 edible fungi, are situated in the north and southeastern Estonia, as well as in Saaremaa..

A farm is a piece of land that uses soil, climate and vegetation to grow food for the human population. Vegetation could include a monoculture of artificially-selected plant species grown on a field that had been tilled, called a crop, or a multi-culture of vegetation grown for livestock like cattle…, sheep, horses, and others can graze so that these animals can be sold for their meat, wool, milk, or other things that humans have found good use for.

You harvest. You milk cows. You feed and care for animals - horses, cattle, chickens, hogs, d…ucks, sheep, etc. You either slaughter the animals yourself or send them to a slaughter house. You come home long after it is dark and you get up before the sun is up and you do it at least 6 days a week all year long. (MORE)

A farm is an area of land where livestock (animals) are raised andcrops (plants) are grown for use as food, fiber, and fuel. The people who own and work on the farm are called farmers. A farm usually has buildings where equipment such as tractors and supplies are stored. Some farms also have buildin…gs where livestock are housed. These buildings usually have different names depending on the type of livestock that lives there. For example, chickens live in poultry houses and pigs live in swine parlors-sounds fancy, doesn't it?! Farms are busy places. A day on the farm usually starts before the sun rises and ends after the sun has set. Farmers do not work alone. They have help from their families and other workers. Farmers do not take many vacations because there is always work that needs to be done. There are many different kinds of farms. Large corporate farms grow one or two major crops or livestock. Middle-sized and small-sized farms grow many different types of crops and livestock. Each type of farm has a list of chores that must be done every day. To get an idea of life on different kinds of farms, click on a farm type below. Orchards Vineyards Ranches Dairy farms Fish farms Poultry farms Hog farms Truck farms (no, they don't grow trucks!)
